Seventeen Canadian residents are in custody Saturday on terrorism- related charges, including plots to use explosives in attacks on Canadian soil. 12 male adults involved and five youth whose names can't be released because they're underage and the laws of our great country just won't allow that. The adults names are : 1. Fahim Ahmad, 21, Toronto;2. Zakaria Amara, 20, Mississauga, Ont.; 3. Asad Ansari, 21, Mississauga;4. Shareef Abdelhaleen, 30, Mississauga;5. Qayyum Abdul Jamal, 43, Mississauga;6. Mohammed Dirie, 22, Kingston, Ont.;7. Yasim Abdi Mohamed, 24, Kingston;8. Jahmaal James, 23, Toronto;9. Amin Mohamed Durrani, 19, Toronto;10. Steven Vikash Chand alias Abdul Shakur, 25, Toronto;11. Ahmad Mustafa Ghany, 21, Mississauga;12. Saad Khalid, 19, of Eclipse Avenue, Mississauga.Im sure the kids names are similiar, a mohamed or abdul. Lawyers for the accused, asked that their clients be provided with a Koran, and in one case prescription eyewear. Of course that was granted immediately because we wouldn't want to offend the Muslim world now,would we? The news goes on to say all were inspired by al-Qaeda. Here are some Canadian born kids who have never sat foot outside of Canada and are inspired byMuslim extremists. The kids here are not the so called poor,uneducated ones who the press say are suicide bombers or terrorist in the middle eastern world.They are sons of wealthy and educated Canadians who could care less about this country and proved Saturday that we are not immune to the threat of terrorism.

here's a quote from one of their relatives that i particulary liked..Alvin Chand, brother of Toronto suspect Steven Vikash Chand, scoffed at the charges outside the courthouse.“He’s not a terrorist, come on, he’s a Canadian citizen” Mr. Chand said of his brother. “The people that were arrested are good people. They go to the mosque. They go to school, go to college.”It's going to be a long drawn out court case and those terrorist will have it relatively easy compared to the rest of their brotherly scum held by the Americans in Guantanamo Bay. Im sure more of their brothers in other terrorist cells are hard at work here in Canada being good Canadian citizens and going to Mosque and being inspired by Al Qadea daily. Even during the days after 9 - 11 i felt terrible ,hoping no one would judge all Muslims as terrorist. I know of very few here in rural Newfoundland but when i do see one from now on, i'll look at him differently.We are different!! So different!
